Scott’s Story

Combat Veteran's Complex Microsurgical Facial Reconstructive Surgery

"I got my life back... If I had to put it down in just a couple words; I got my life back."

After a bomb blast destroyed the bones of his face and jaw when he was serving in Somalia, Scott had 9 unsuccessful surgeries and was unable to eat solid food for 25 years. Scott consulted with facial and reconstructive surgeon Shaun Desai, M.D. who rebuilt his jaw from Scott's fibula bone using innovative technology with 3D printing and virtual surgical planning.
